Try:
var imgDesc = $(theform).getInputs('page1', 'text','imgDesc');
I have no idea why you want to do it that way, it's very inefficient.
What's wrong with:
var imgDesc = theform.imgDesc;
or
var imgDesc = theform.elements['imgDesc'];
to get a reference to the element directly?

How do you pass a reference to the form? Prototype.js extends the
built-in form element in Firefox (and others that support element
extensions) but not for IE - you must do it yourself. It will work if
you change as noted above, or extend the form element before that.
But why not just use ordinary old - theForm.elements['imgDesc'] - ?
